Santiago Abascal, Vox leader, accused Pedro Sánchez of being 'the X of corruption' at a rally in Dos Hermanas, Seville, on Tuesday. He sharply criticized the government president over corruption cases and warned of a supposed migrant invasion. He called for votes for his candidate Manuel Gavira in the Andalusian elections.
Santiago Abascal attacked Pedro Sánchez at a rally in Dos Hermanas, a socialist stronghold in Seville, on May 5, 2026. He accused the president of being 'the X of corruption and the main problem of Spaniards', referring to the Ábalos case at the Supreme Court. 'Ábalos, after leaving prison, should not be alone in the dock, but accompanied by Pedro Sánchez Castejón', Abascal stated.
Attendees shouted 'Pedro Sánchez, hijo de puta!' as Abascal smiled and replied: 'Sorry Pedro, that's how it is, that's what you've sown'. He criticized Sánchez for corrupting himself, hijacking primaries and pacting with 'enemies of Spain, terrorists and separatists'.
Abascal ignored the Andalusian bishops' message on migrant welcoming and defended 'national priority'. He shouted: 'We're fed up with the invasion. Whoever enters our homeland must leave the way they came'.
He backed his Junta candidate Manuel Gavira, who lamented Monday's electoral debate: 'I left the debate sad because the future with PP or PSOE is Andalucía being last'. A Centro de Estudios Andaluces poll gives Vox 14.4% of votes, 17 to 19 seats.
